Zora Neale Hurston
She stood there until something fell off the shelf inside her. Then she went inside there to see what it was. It was her image of Jody tumbled down and shattered. But looking at it she saw that it never was the flesh and blood figure of her dreams. Just something she had grabbed up to drape her dreams over.

I feel most colored when I am thrown against a sharp white background........Beside the waters of the Hudson I feel my race. Among the thousand white persons, I am a dark rock surged upon, and overswept, but through it all, I remain myself. When covered by the waters, I am and the ebb but reveals me again. How It Feels to Be Colored Me
Zora Neale Hurston
God took pattern after a pine tree and built you noble.
Zora Neale Hurston
Love, I find, is like singing. Everybody can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may not impress the neighbors as being very much.
Zora Neale Hurston
Everybody is two beings: one lives and flourishes in the daylight and stands guard. The other being walks and howls at night.
Zora Neale Hurston
It was not death she feared. It was misunderstanding.
Zora Neale Hurston
My sense of humor will always stand in the way of my seeing myself, my family, my race or my nation as the whole intent of the universe.
Zora Neale Hurston
It is a curious thing to be a woman in the Caribbean after you have been a woman in these United States.
